Derailers - Play Me The Waltz Of The Angels lyrics

Played a party last night for some old folks

They were dancing and smiling at me

'Cept this old man alone at a table

As if there's someplace that he'd rather be

So I said, "Sir, can I play something for you.

Something special that you'd like to hear"

When he looked up at me he was smiling

Oh, but his eyes couldn't hide the tears

Chorus:

He said, "Play me the Waltz of the Angels,

And I'll close my eyes and pretend.

Play me the Waltz of the Angels,

So I can dance with my angel again."

He said, "Yes, that's the song I remember

Thats' the one that she loved the best

It was playing the night that I met her

and it was playing when we laid her to rest."

Repeat Chorus

"Let me dance with my angel again."
